Razodetje 18
1 In po teh stvareh sem videl drugega angela priti dol z neba, ki je imel veliko oblast in zemlja je bila razsvetljena z njegovo slavo.
AND after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 In mogočno je vpil z močnim glasom, rekoč: »Vélika [metropola] Babilon je padla, padla je in postala prebivališče hudičev in ječa vsakega nečistega duha in kletka vsake nečiste in osovražene ptice.
And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 Kajti vsi narodi so pili od vina besa njenega prešuštvovanja in kralji zemlje so z njo zagrešili prešuštvovanje in trgovci zemlje so obogateli od obilja njenih poslastic.«
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 In zaslišal sem drug glas z neba, rekoč: »Pridite iz nje, moji ljudje, da ne boste soudeleženi z njenimi grehi in da ne prejmete od njenih nadlog.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 Kajti njeni grehi so segli do neba in Bog se je spomnil njenih krivičnosti.
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Nagradite jo, kakor vas je sama nagradila in podvojite ji dvojno glede na njena dela; v čašo, ki jo je napolnila, ji napolnite dvojno.
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 Kolikor je samo sebe slavila in slastno živela, toliko muk in bridkosti ji dajte, kajti v svojem srcu pravi: ›Sedim kraljica in nisem vdova in ne bom videla bridkosti.‹
How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Zatorej bodo njene nadloge prišle v enem dnevu; smrt in žalovanje in lakota in popolnoma bo požgana z ognjem, kajti močan je Gospod Bog, ki jo sodi.«
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9 In kralji zemlje, ki so zagrešili prešuštvovanje in z njo slastno živeli, jo bodo objokovali in žalovali za njo, ko bodo videli dim njenega gorenja,
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 stoječ daleč stran zaradi strahu pred njenim mučenjem, rekoč: »Ojoj, ojoj, ta vélika metropola Babilon, ta mogočna metropola! Kajti v eni uri je prišla tvoja sodba.«
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 In trgovci zemlje bodo jokali in žalovali nad njo, kajti noben človek ne kupuje več njihovega trgovskega blaga,
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12 trgovskega blaga iz zlata in srebra in dragocenih kamnov in iz biserov in tankega lanenega platna in bagra in svile in škrlata in vsakega dišečega lesa in vseh vrst posod iz slonovine in vseh vrst posod iz najdragocenejšega lesa in iz brona in železa in marmorja
The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13 in cimeta in dišav in mazil in kadil in vina in olja in fine moke in pšenice in živali in ovc in konj in bojnih vozov in sužnjev in človeških duš.
And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14 In sadeži, po katerih je hlepela tvoja duša, so odšli od tebe in vse stvari, ki so bile okusne in lepe, so odšle od tebe in sploh jih ne boš več našel.
And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15 Trgovci s temi stvarmi, ki so po njej obogateli, bodo zaradi strahu pred njenimi mukami stali daleč stran ter jokali in tarnali
The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 in govorili: »Ojoj, ojoj, ta vélika metropola, ki je bila oblečena v tanko laneno platno in bager in škrlat in odeta z zlatom in dragocenimi kamni in biseri!
And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17 Kajti v eni uri pridejo v nič tako velika bogastva.« In vsak kapitan in vse spremstvo na ladjah in mornarji in kolikor jih trguje po morju, so stali daleč stran
For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 in ko so zagledali dim njenega gorenja, so vpili, rekoč: »Katero mesto je podobno tej véliki metropoli!«
And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 In na svoje glave so metali prah in vpili, jokali in tarnali, rekoč: »Ojoj, ojoj, ta vélika metropola, v kateri so zaradi njene visoke cene postali bogati vsi, ki so imeli ladje na morju! Kajti v eni uri je postala opustošena.
And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Veselite se nad njo, ve nebesa in vi sveti apostoli ter preroki, kajti Bog vas je maščeval na njej.«
Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 In mogočen angel je pobral kamen, podoben velikemu mlinskemu kamnu in ga vrgel v morje, rekoč: »Tako bo ta vélika metropola Babilon z nasiljem zrušena in sploh je ne bo več najti.
And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22 In v tebi se sploh ne bo več slišal zvok harfistov in glasbenikov in piskačev ter trobentačev in v tebi ne bo več najti nobenega rokodelca, katerekoli umetnosti je že in v tebi se sploh ne bo več slišal zvok mlinskega kamna
And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 in v tebi sploh ne bo več svetila svetloba sveče in v tebi se sploh ne bo več slišal glas ženina in neveste, kajti tvoji trgovci so bili veliki možje zemlje, kajti s tvojimi čarodejstvi so bili zavedeni vsi narodi.
And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24 In v njej je bila najdena kri prerokov in svetih in vseh, ki so bili zaklani na zemlji.«
And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
